Having finished two major races for me--both ultras-- and needing another weekend of rest made volunteering at the Chubb the best thing to do this weekend. Long day, but so glad I did it. Just like in a race, sometimes it seems like you just want to quit, but you really don't want to, and when it's all over you're happy you stayed and wondered by you ever thought about leaving.
It was an early start to the day, which I don't mind. It was the COLD start to the day. After a few days with hints of upper 70s it was hard to think about standing around outside in 35F weather. The promised sunshine would fix that but not for a few hours. I was cold until about noon, so 5 hours! What is wrong with me that I can't get warm?! This left me remarkably tired and sore. PanZ.
But it was fun and INSPIRING! I finally met other SLUGs whose name I knew from the chatter. They seemed interested with my IM jacket, but I felt they hard run the harder races. I learned about upcoming events, past events, stories...fun! :)
By the end, tired and cold as I was, seeing BG finish his 50K was a great way to end the day. It was a tough course and I admit to being jealous, now I want to go out and try a QC some day.
